As you might have notice, the first 2 games aren't on GOG anymore. GOGWiki is long outdated, so does anyone know where can we find a list of games removed from GOG and their reasons?

Reason is here - http://www.gog.com/forum/general/last_chance_special

That's disappointing, as these two games were really great (two of my favorite games of all time, actually). I thought after the issue like a year ago when they were removed that Jonathan Boakes (the developer) and GOG worked out the issues and I had hoped more of his games would come out here. I wouldn't be surprised if they reappeared along with The Lost Crown and his new game at some point.

The games are still available at DotEmu if you so desire. I would have liked them on GOG too, but...

I think a lot of GOG's casualties are down to Steam. Operation Flashpoint and the Armed Assault games definately were removed from GOG due to them being moved over to Steam.

Can't see why, Steam is absolutely HORRID!

I bought quite a few of those shown removed 1st Sept 14 just in time too!!!!!

These games have been available on Steam for as long as I can remember. From what I understand, they were removed from GOG because of fussy pricing issues - which is fine because GOG considers itself a boutique and adheres to certain principles. Steam does not, but that doesn't make it "terrible." At least we can make our own decisions about whether we're willing to buy into some publisher's dumb pricing setup.

Likewise with DRM. There are hundreds of DRM free games on Steam, including a few of Valve's own games. They just don't forbid it like GOG does. In fact the built in DRM that Steam provides has probably saved us about a billion hours in headaches that would otherwise have been caused by Tagès, SecureROM, and even worse systems people would have dreamed up by now had Steam not come along. Read up on what EA is pulling with the new Dragon Age, and consider how you'd feel about seeing something like that on every major new release.
